So, whilst I'm enjoying my 60Lb Samick Mind50 enormously, I've been finding that the 50" length does contribute significantly to "finger pinch" at full draw.
So I've made myself a thumbring and intend to get used to this method. (actually it's more of a "thumb-tab" without a notch, so, as I understand it, I'm still eligible for the relevant GNAS & NFAS standards as before).
The main issue so far (I've not actually shot with the thumb-tab yet), is that the 60lb draw is far more than my thumb is used to, and it hurts like hell, without even reaching full draw!
So I'm thinking of buying a low-weight (25-35lb) bow, and was looking for recommendations for a nice, traditional Hungarian / Mongol short horsebow, but within a reasonable budget of under ?125. Does such a thing exist? Ever Grozer / Kaya I've found so far is over that budget.
The low budget is because the bow is, in effect, to be an intermediary / training tool to get my thumb used to the release method.
Any advice or suggestions?
